is a convertible windscreen the same as a salon or coupe?

[j555boy]

hi guys,
a stone jumped up and chipped my screen today and has left a 10 inch crack

just wondering if a convertible windscreen is the same as a salon or coupe as i want to get one from the scrapyard.

cheers jamie

[stevetigger]

Nope!

[dips346]

yes they are only the mirror fittings are different
1 coupe has mirroor in the roof
2 the cabrio has a mirror on the screen which can removed and glued back on
not the best way but cheap enough

[j555boy]

who's correct then?

cheers jamie

Im guessing dips has fitted and seen enough screens in his time, thats where my trust would be.

[ed325i]

Yes they are the same you just need to glue the mirror fixing on.

thanks mate ,used to work for autoglass once upon a time
you can also fit a m3 bonded screen in a e30 with a few bits as well and the right know how

[scottybeemer]

yes mate ,it WILL fit,done it myself,i used special glue to fix the mirror fixing to the screen,worked fine

[ad318i]

steve's wrong again then lol

[stevetigger]

No I am not wrong, the screens are different!



Which way are you doing the screen swap?

[gooner1]

Steve what difference would it make what way round the change is being made, if as you say they are different?

[d6dph]

No I am not wrong, the screens are different!

But a little more info than "Nope" would be handy Steve.

[scottybeemer]

I have backed up my claim D*ck, The mirror is mounted on a Convertible windscreen and NOT on a Saloon!

Reject!

[Kos]

[Sharon]

Then sureley, Steve, its the f@ckin rear view mirror thats different not the windscreen itself.

[gooner1]

OK boys do you need to fight about everything???

Not everything Sharon,just important things like cars,football erm !!!!!!!!

[tylerma]

from what I have seen they are the same
its only the mirror location thats different.

Steve you should be banned from replying to tech questions
most of your answers are wrong and start arguments.

[Simon13]

they are the same i know because i have a cab screen in my 4 door saloon. fuck the rear view mirror the fact is they fit

[cliffybabe]

fuck the rear view mirror the fact is they fit

[320Touring]

ok- so the screens on e30's dont differ. question answered.

but the position of the mirror differs-agreed?

Steve, try reading, COMPREHENDING, then answer with appropiate information.Its not too hard.

i'll close this one now.
